pete cc Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 Every year the National League throws up a 3 pointer who doubles his average or more. who will it be this year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurnTwo Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 I'm gonna take a gamble and say Nick Phillips Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waco Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 You always hope it is going to be the rider in the team you support... With some though,, ,shrewd promoters may have seen the rapid improving type the season before somewhere such as the Dugards ..But in the main we will not know until the wheels start turning in the spring...

Islander15 Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 (edited) Birmingham have a good pair in Smith and JPB, Mildenhall have a good pairing too but the one I think will end with the highest average is KL's Cupitt or Smith.

Ben91 Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 It'll be Smith or JPB. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sings4Speedway Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 JPB looks a smart tip for that title this year. Cupitt & Andrews should put at least 1.5 - 2 points on their average. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex2000 Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 It'll be Smith or JPB. they will do well, but they won't double their average quite. They will get to 4.5 or 5 at best I reckon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure about Cupitt, he's had a season in the NL & didn't manage to get above a 3.00 ave in the weakest NL season ever!

Hunty Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 Bradley Andrews and 3 pointer as such James Purchase will both end up on 5 or 6 averages! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think Layne will/has to kick on this season. With a years experience under his belt and even weaker reserves this year he has to be looking to improve and think he will.

Reviresco Posted January 6, 2016 Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 Layne Cupitt has a great opportunity spending the winter in Australia with the World Champion, if he doesn't waste it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete cc Posted January 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 If a rider rides for your track & you see him every week i don't think you will see much improvement weekly.I maybe saw Layne Cupitt 3 times last season & was getting better every time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greyhoundp Posted January 6, 2016 Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 Brum have the best pair (not that Iv seen them lol) without doubt, it wont be easy for anyone to double there average, so this season I will say no current reserve will get a 6 point average at seasons end. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Very likely. From the true 3 pointers last year (Waj was a phenomenon) Only Wood, Dwyer & Kinsley cleared 5 points last year. Neale, Tedham & Dugard who all had plenty of laps behind them before stepping up managed 4.5+ Â There were plenty of tipped riders last year who didn't put a thing on their average so any team who ends up with a reserve on over 4 will have signed well.

Don't forget Ryan Kinsley (5.13) starts at reserve, wouldn't take much for him to hit a 6 ave! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â well yes, I did forget Ryan (5.13) he will definitely reach 6 points but will he double it ? I think a lot of people may well underestimate KL this season, Dale has made some shrewd signings this season, and I fully expect an injury free Nathan Greaves to be pushing for the No1 race jacket.

Don't think anyone would underestimate Kings Lynn only at their peril ;-) Nathan looked very sharp when we saw him putting in some laps at Somerset before Xmas. As to three point riders don't rule out George Piper he is on top equipment with good backing on his machinery with one of his top sponsors Speedway Portal who were instrumental in his comeback this season. He will be looking for a good season and on far better bikes than he had before Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevebrum Posted January 28, 2016 Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 I agree with the majority on here that Brum have the best pairing of 3 pointers and having had the pleasure of watching JPB I think he looks the strongest 3 pointer of them all.

Alex2000 Posted January 28, 2016 Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 Jack smith is better than JPB I think... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
